The medical goal of the center at the ATOS Clinic is to specialize in the treatment of injuries and diseases of the hip, knee joint and foot in adults and children. This also includes the therapy of sports injuries in recreational and competitive athletes, late effects of injuries and osteoarthritis.
By concentrating on our specialty, we can offer our patients the highest level of expertise and professional treatment.
The most modern surgical techniques and short inpatient stays are guaranteed through constant evaluation and control of our results and the continuous exchange of scientific experience. Exact follow-up treatment plans and experienced physiotherapists ensure the result of the operation.
